Transcript
- 0:17Hello, and welcome to episode 121 of the All Systems Go Sports
- 0:23Betting podcast powered by Rhythm.
- 0:26I'm your host, Josh Applebaum. What's going on everyone?
- 0:33Happy Tuesday. Another day here in the arena,
- 0:36guys, and boy are you still sweating that last night's game
- 0:40from Monday Night Football, because I know I am.
- 0:43What a sweat, guys. The Falcons getting it done,
- 0:46covering the number and winning outright as a dog that only
- 0:51receives 16% of spread bets. The ultimate contrarian play.
- 0:56When you walk into the Contrarian Hall of Fame, boom,
- 0:58you're going to see a big fat photo of Kirk Cousins leading a
- 1:02come from behind victory. And boy, what a sweat it was
- 1:06because that looked like a loss First off, it looked like a win
- 1:08all game. They're covering the number of
- 1:09winning all game, then they look like they're about to lose the
- 1:13game and fail to cover the number because the Eagles took
- 1:16it down all the way across the field and could have got a first
- 1:19down and ended it. Or really what I was worried
- 1:22about is kicking a field goal and making it a six point game.
- 1:25And I'm I was staring right into the abyss of boom.
- 1:27I got a + 5 1/2. Maybe you got a six and chopped
- 1:30and found a six, but really the number one number they're most
- 1:33widely available is 5 1/2. And I could just see it.
- 1:35Here I am, another broken heart plus 5 1/2 and they lose by 6.
- 1:40But don't you know it, Saquon Barkley misses a little dump
- 1:43off, pass to the right, Falcons take over, Falcons go right down
- 1:47the field and score and win the game.
- 1:49So I think a big important factor to remember from last
- 1:52night, win, lose, draw, going contrarian and heavily back
- 1:55games when everybody and their mother is on Team A, you want to
- 1:59be on team B. And again, it makes total sense.
- 2:02You look at the Eagles, good team, Falcons didn't look good
- 2:04to start. But what do we see with that buy
- 2:06back? Again, you had at one point the
- 2:08Eagles going from -4 up to -6 1/2.
- 2:11But then we started to see that line get back down to 5 1/2.
- 2:14So the fact that that line really came back toward Atlanta
- 2:17at the same time that nobody wanted to play them.
- 2:20Guys, when you walk into a bar and all the drunk people at the
- 2:23bar, all the drunk dudes at the bar, they're they're holding an
- 2:27Eagles ticket. Yeah, because the Eagles are
- 2:29great. They'll, they'll roll
- 2:31automatically. We want to be on the other side.
- 2:33So, Hall of Fame contrarian hit with the Falcons last night.
- 2:36What a sweat. Now, overall, two and two for
- 2:39the plays we talked about. Minus 0.2 units.
- 2:42Falcons were a great hit. Dodgers were a great hit.
- 2:45Disappointing ones, though, was Bijan Robinson over 30 1/2
- 2:48receiving yards. Felt pretty good about that
- 2:50early. He was close to 20 yards.
- 2:53I think it was midway through third quarter ended up landing
- 2:56on 25. So it's kind of tough when you
- 2:58fall 6 yards short and then the D backs losing three to two on a
- 3:03walk off air at Colorado. That was disappointing.
- 3:06I'll be the way guys. My night was made by that
- 3:08Falcons and I tell you what, betting on sports.
- 3:11Maybe you listen to this pod for the analytics for the
- 3:14data-driven approach. We talked a lot about numbers.
- 3:17It's easy to, I don't know, maybe get too little, little too
- 3:20nerdy, little too wonky. But the number one reason I love
- 3:24betting on sports again, you're going to have your heart broken.
- 3:26That's just part of the game. But when you are covering and
- 3:30then you you look at a loss and then it turns back into a win
- 3:33and you're going down the field. And when when Kirk Cousins found
- 3:35Drake London in the back right corner, my heart was racing that
- 3:38entire drive it. That's why I love sports betting
- 3:41guys taking a position, obviously cashing a bet, but
- 3:45really not knowing what's going to happen.
- 3:47An unknown outcome. Your, your, your bet is hanging
- 3:49in the balance and you come through and you cash a ticket.
- 3:52Again, that's when I feel most alive.
- 3:54That final drive, not knowing whether you're going to win or
- 3:56lose, but obviously cashing a ticket in the end.
- 3:58That's why I love sports betting.
- 4:00So again, we talked a lot of numbers.
- 4:02It can feel very, I don't know, data-driven, but data obviously
- 4:06is what we lean on because you want to belt with your head and
- 4:08not your heart. But the emotional aspect, the,
- 4:11the, the sweat was just unreal last night.
- 4:13So that was an incredible hit with all of us 16 percenters on
- 4:18the Atlanta Falcons getting it done.
- 4:20Now, turning the page toward today, guys, obviously we got a
- 4:22Tuesday here. I have a four pack of sweats for
- 4:24you. We're going to get back to Major
- 4:26League Baseball. I have three Major League
- 4:28Baseball bats for you, all of which are pretty short favorites
- 4:31here. So let's say we can go 2 and 1,
- 4:33eek out a profit. And then I don't want to quit
- 4:36WNBA because there are, I think four or five games here tonight.
- 4:39And there's one in particular with a pretty good system match
- 4:42in a good rhythm edge where rhythm is predicting a specific
- 4:46number for the total in the betting market is, I would argue
- 4:50maybe under selling this total. So I do have a play for you in
- 4:53the WNBA. And then I want to talk some
- 4:55early college football sharp report week four in NFL sharp
- 4:59report week 3, cuz there's some early numbers that are catching
- 5:02my eye, including a couple that believe it or not, I think maybe
- 5:05you should bet right now. So we'll hit on some early
- 5:07college football NFL thoughts, see where the market is, where
- 5:10the numbers are moving, and we'll talk baseball as well as
- 5:14some WNBA. So in terms of MLB, let's go to
- 5:19Major League Baseball here to start our day.
- 5:21First game on the board for me. Let's look at a couple early
- 5:23matchups. These are all early games.
- 5:25So the first one that I jumped out to me is 6:40 PM Eastern
- 5:28Time matchup here between the Atlanta Braves and the
- 5:32Cincinnati Reds. Now going into this one, we have
- 5:35the Atlanta Braves fighting for their playoff lives as we speak.
- 5:39The Atlanta Braves come into this one with a record of 81 and
- 5:4269. And I think the motivation of
- 5:45being one game back of the final wild card spot is part of my
- 5:49reasoning for taking the Braves here tonight.
- 5:51Meanwhile, the Reds 73 and 78. Reds just took two or three at
- 5:55Minnesota. Again, the Braves split A4 game
- 5:57series at home against the Dodgers.
- 5:59So pitch a match report tonight. We have Grant Holmes, a righty
- 6:03going for Atlanta. Looks like he's going to be the
- 6:04opener. He is 2 and one with a 3.79 ERA
- 6:08versus Brandon Williamson. Felt a lefty here.
- 6:12He's O&O with a 2 point O 8 ERA. What have we seen across the
- 6:15market? Well, a lot of steam hitting the
- 6:17Braves. This is the first game I noticed
- 6:19on the board just in terms of a huge discrepancy or a huge move
- 6:23from the opener to the current. This game opened Atlanta Braves,
- 6:26a very short -110 -, 115 road favorite.
- 6:30Now the Braves are all the way up to -135 even -140 so a huge,
- 6:35you know, 20 cent steam move, $0.25, even 30 cent steam move
- 6:40in favor of Atlanta tells me a lot of smart money came in on
- 6:43the Braves here for tonight. Now the Braves are getting
- 6:45around 70% of bets but nearly 80% of money.
- 6:49So a low bets, higher dollars bet split and a lot of system
- 6:52matches on the Braves. One would be Rd. favorites with
- 6:55steam versus A-Team who missed the playoffs the year before.
- 6:58This has been a great system this season. 64 and 2969% 14%
- 7:03ROI. If you just look at Rd.
- 7:05favorites getting steamed $0.10 or more, 79 and 4365 percent, 8%
- 7:11ROI and a road favorite off a loss.
- 7:13You're on the road, you're favored and you're coming off a
- 7:16loss in a bounce back spot. Those teams are 209 and one
- 7:195557% this season with a 2% ROI. Also you look at a classic non
- 7:25division favorite. So obviously the Braves National
- 7:27League East, Cincy in the central, you have a non division
- 7:31favorite, lack of familiarity, hopefully benefiting quote UN
- 7:33quote the better team. We've also seen this line move
- 7:36toward Atlanta, the favorite and the total drop.
- 7:38Lot of these nines are now falling down to 8 1/2.
- 7:40So kind of good correlative betting wouldn't be technically
- 7:43a favorite. Low total, low total.
- 7:44You have to be 8 or less, but the total is dropping and the
- 7:47lines moving toward the favorite.
- 7:48So is this a, you know, five to two Braves game, something like
- 7:52that. I'm going to bank on Atlanta's
- 7:53bats hopefully showing up. You know, I was happy last night
- 7:56because the the Dodgers blanked the Braves and got us a win.
- 7:59But overall, Atlanta's been the better hitting team as compared
- 8:03to Cincinnati. Atlanta's hitting 240 on the
- 8:05year. They've slugged 188 home runs.
- 8:09The Reds are hitting 233. They've only hit 168 home runs.
- 8:13Braves do have a better home Rd. record here on the road.
- 8:16They're 39 and 36. Cincinnati is just 36 and 39 at
- 8:19home. Last 10 Braves are hitting 2/29,
- 8:23doesn't sound great, but since he is only hitting 2:16 and then
- 8:27of course, I mentioned this prior, but you know, we're at
- 8:29the tail end of the MLB season, guys.
- 8:31There's only I think 12 games left for most teams.
- 8:34Atlanta Braves are one game back in that final wild card spot.
- 8:36I believe the Mets are holding that final spot.
- 8:39So with the clock ticking here, a good team like Atlanta, you
- 8:42know, these games are very meaningful.
- 8:44Cincinnati, you know, they're five games below 500 with 12 to
- 8:47play. They're really not going to make
- 8:48the post season. So it's a big spot for Atlanta
- 8:51and it looks like the Sharps like them today with that big
- 8:53steam in their favor. So I'm going to go Braves, shop
- 8:56around. I got Atlanta at -135 another
- 9:00early game for you. 6:40 PM Eastern Time, the Twinkies
- 9:03visiting the Cleveland Guardians.
- 9:05Now going into this one. This is the fourth and final
- 9:08game of a four-game set. And we have seen actually, no,
- 9:12this is the second game here. You have the Guardians win last
- 9:15night, four to three. Guardians come in 87 and 64.
- 9:19Minnesota comes in 79 and 71. So pitching match up here for
- 9:23tonight. We have Zebby Williams going
- 9:27for, sorry, Zebby Matthews, the righty going for the Minnesota
- 9:30Twins. He's one and three with a 7.11
- 9:33ERA. He'll be opposed by Gavin
- 9:35Williams, the righty for Cleveland.
- 9:37He's 3:00 and 9:00 with a 5.23 ERA.
- 9:39So what have you seen across the market here?
- 9:41Well, just mentioned big steam on Atlanta here you got some
- 9:44steam on the Cleveland guardians.
- 9:46I'm going guardians guys. This game open with Cleveland
- 9:49listed as low as a -, 120 home favorite and now Cleveland's up
- 9:53to -135 S about a 15 cent steam move in favor of the guardians.
- 9:58They're getting around 80% of bets in dollars.
- 10:00So both public and sharp support.
- 10:02There's a few things I'm going to bank on here in particular
- 10:04when it comes to Cleveland. First one is the fact that they
- 10:08have owned Minnesota this season.
- 10:09They're eight and two head to head against Minnesota.
- 10:12You'd also match as a favorite low total.
- 10:14So we've seen this line move toward Cleveland as well as the
- 10:17total dropping. A lot of these books open 8 1/2
- 10:20and now you're down to 8. So again, for your mono expected
- 10:22run scored more likely to come from quote UN quote that better
- 10:25team. Also, if you look at Cleveland
- 10:28in particular as a favorite, when they're a chalk favorite,
- 10:31they're the best in baseball. When they're favored, they've
- 10:33gone 62 and 29. 68 percent, 19% ROI again #1 Chalk team in MLB
- 10:41home Rd. splits favorite Cleveland.
- 10:42They're 46 and 27 at home. Maybe the best or one of the
- 10:46best at least home teams in baseball.
- 10:48Minnesota just 37 and 38 on the road, Also last 10.
- 10:52Cleveland six and four. They're hitting 233 with a 2.45
- 10:56ERA. Minnesota kind of falling off at
- 10:59the at the wrong time. Right now they're holding on to
- 11:01the last wild card spot. They're just three and seven.
- 11:03Their last 10, they're only hitting 219.
- 11:05They have an ERA of 4.92. Also look at Zebby Matthews, he
- 11:11has an 8.41 ERA at night versus 1.8 O in the day.
- 11:15So he has really gotten lit up here at night and now he's
- 11:18facing a divisional opponent. I'm going to take Cleveland here
- 11:20guys. Again, good sharp steam in their
- 11:22favor. Kind of a low price here
- 11:25matching quite a few betting systems.
- 11:27They really own the head to head to head match up against
- 11:29Minnesota. Seems like a decent spot here to
- 11:32back Cleveland at home. So I'm going to go Cleveland.
- 11:35Guys, let's lay it with the Guardians, not the Tribe, the
- 11:37Guardians. I got Cleveland at -135 last bet
- 11:42in Major League Baseball again. I mentioned we have 3 short
- 11:45favorites, the final one, the Boston Red Sox.
- 11:47Now I can tell you as a Red Sox fan, wash, rinse, repeat.
- 11:51You know, Red Sox, they do nothing in the offseason.
- 11:54They don't spend any money anymore.
- 11:56They kind of surprise you a little bit throughout the year,
- 11:58then they tail off at the end of the season that they've done
- 12:00that. I would say I don't know, five
- 12:02of the last six years anyway, I like them tonight.
- 12:06With all that being said, Red Sox are on the road at Tampa
- 12:09Bay. Red Sox currently are, I believe
- 12:11four games back of the wild card spot with 12 left to play.
- 12:14They come in 75 and 75 minute. The Tampa Bay Rays, meanwhile,
- 12:19are 73 and 77, one of their worst years in quite a while.
- 12:23Feels like kind of they kind of caught up to Tampa Bay.
- 12:25They've been having winning seasons, you know, for a long
- 12:28time here with, you know, bubble gum and shoestring and feels
- 12:31like they finally fell off this season.
- 12:32But anyway, pitching match up for tonight, we have Nick
- 12:35Pavetta going for the Red Sox. He is 5 and 10 with a 4.24 ERA.
- 12:40He'll be opposed by Shane Baz, fellow righty who's two and
- 12:44three with a 3.28 ERA. But just like Atlanta and just
- 12:47like Cleveland, big steam on the Red Sox.
- 12:50Red Sox open this game as low as a -, 110 Rd. favorite.
- 12:55Now they're up to -120 -, 125 some books here, even maybe
- 13:00creeping up closer to -130 So one way steam movement, all in
- 13:03favor of Boston. Now the Red Sox are getting
- 13:06around 60% of bets, nearly 70% of dollars.
- 13:09So decent low bets, higher dollars, bet split.
- 13:12I'm going to bank on the Red Sox offense.
- 13:14Big advantage here that I noticed is Red Sox on the year
- 13:17hitting 255. They've hit 186 homers, 710 runs
- 13:21scored. You look at the Tampa Bay Rays
- 13:24only hitting two 3000 and 36 homers, 570 runs scored.
- 13:28Boston's been pretty good on the road, 40 and 35.
- 13:31Tampa Bay is a game below 500 at home, 37 and 38.
- 13:35And if you look at Nick Pavetta, he's been really good as two
- 13:38starts in September. He has a 1.5 O ERA in September.
- 13:41And if you look at Shane Baz on the road, he's been pretty good.
- 13:442.84 ERA at home, 4 point O3. Red Sox also have a favorite low
- 13:50total advantage again, now around a -, 125 road favorite
- 13:54total in this one is 7 1/2 and actually opened juiced up to the
- 13:57over. And now it's kind of trending a
- 13:59little bit more toward even money.
- 14:01So few amount of expected run scored.
- 14:02Again, more likely to come from quote UN quote that better team
- 14:05who was favored, which is Boston.
- 14:07And talk about the bats. The Red Sox are hitting 249
- 14:11their last 10 games. The Tampa Bay Rays are hitting
- 14:13226 their last 10 games. So again, two teams in the AL
- 14:17East who are probably going to both miss the playoffs.
- 14:19But it looks like tonight a lot of steam likes Boston.
- 14:22And I should mention a few systems on the Red Sox.
- 14:25Short Rd. favorites -130 or less our sweet spot system. 55% this
- 14:29year. Rd. fave with steam, 65% if you
- 14:32look at Rd. faves off a loss, 57% ROI here.
- 14:35All between like 2 and 8%. So you got it all up.
- 14:40To me, this is a good spot here to back Boston at a pretty short
- 14:43number. See if the Red Sox can get back
- 14:45on track and get a win tonight for us.
- 14:47I'm on Boston at -125 so Boston, Cleveland, and Atlanta can we
- 14:52get 2 out of 3 and eke out a winning night?
- 14:54That is the goal. Now over to the WNBA.
- 14:57Haven't bet a WNBA game in quite a while so I got 1 here for a
- 15:01tonight that caught my eye and hopefully our friends at Rhythm
- 15:04can help us catch this bet. So with five games on the board,
- 15:07let's go to the late night sweat 10:30 PM Eastern Time matchup
- 15:11between the Phoenix Mercury in the LA Sparks.
- 15:14Now if you want to sweat this one, if you're like me and you
- 15:16still pay for cable, this one is on CBS Sports Network.
- 15:20So sure you should be able to watch it.
- 15:22Anyway, coming into this one, two teams with below 500
- 15:25records. Phoenix is 18 and 20.
- 15:27They're 8:00 and 11:00 on the road.
- 15:29LA is 7 and 31 five and 14 at home.
- 15:32So obviously we have these Sparks as one of the worst teams
- 15:34in the WNBA. Now one thing you notice is the
- 15:37line is going toward the sparks. This game opened with Phoenix
- 15:40around a four point Rd. favorite.
- 15:42It's down to three, but what I'm going to do is focus on the
- 15:45total here and I'm going to go over.
- 15:47Let's get some points tonight, guys.
- 15:48Mercury sparks over 163. Hopefully you can find the 163,
- 15:53if not, a lot of shops are at 163 1/2.
- 15:56But a couple things jumped out to me #1 the fact that this
- 15:59total rose. So the total open around 162 and
- 16:02a half, 163. Now it's up to one 63163 1/2.
- 16:07Again, not a huge 2345 point jump, but this has ticked up
- 16:12from the opener. Really good bet split to the to
- 16:15the over the over is only getting 63% of bets, but 89% of
- 16:20money. So a great low bets, higher
- 16:22dollars bet split. Now I mentioned that the line is
- 16:24dropping toward the sparks. Well, important thing here is
- 16:27that this is a very short spread.
- 16:29So sparks are just a three-point dog at home.
- 16:31And why is that important? Because if I'm on an over an
- 16:34OVA, I want a short spread because theoretically it's going
- 16:37to be competitive game back and forth.
- 16:39Maybe you get overtime, you know, if the Mercury are favored
- 16:42by 15, I'd be less inclined to take the over because, you know,
- 16:46chances are they get up big, take their foot off the gas and
- 16:48just end the clock. So a short home dog historically
- 16:51has been good for an over because they tend to fight to
- 16:54the bitter end. And again, competitive game with
- 16:56maybe some overtime. Now, the other angle here is the
- 17:00fact that these are two of the worst defenses in all the WNBA.
- 17:04We have the Mercury in the Sparks allowing around 85 or 86
- 17:09points per game this season. Cut it in half, 85 1/2 points
- 17:13per game. Now that ranks 3rd and 4th worst
- 17:15in the WNBA. Basically they're giving up
- 17:18their bottom 4IN in defense, or you know, top four and more.
- 17:21Most points allowed however way you want to look at it.
- 17:23But they give up a lot defensively.
- 17:26And look at the last 10 games. Sparks are scoring 81 points,
- 17:29giving up 89. Last 10 games, Mercury are
- 17:32scoring 75, giving up 84. So again, two teams that
- 17:37definitely are not playing much defense, which is again a good
- 17:40best friend of an over here. And then little cherry on top is
- 17:43I opened up my Rhythm app and I went to WNBA and I went to this
- 17:47game and I clicked on the total and what did I find?
- 17:49I found that I have a Josh Rhythm AI model which is
- 17:53predicting a final total of 168.3.
- 17:57So again, if we're going over one 63163 1/2 and Rhythm is
- 18:01predicting with their AI model closer to a 168 boom, that's a
- 18:06little bit of an actionable edge.
- 18:08You're looking at what nearly A5 point discrepancy from the
- 18:11betting market to Rhythm. And then also the Rhythm
- 18:14community model feature, which is a premium feature, which is
- 18:18really interesting to me because you've heard me say it before,
- 18:21but it really pulls all the people who have a Rhythm account
- 18:25who have created their own model.
- 18:26And then it looks at, OK, you know, where all these models
- 18:29leaning? Are they leaning dog or favorite
- 18:32or over under? Well, 76% of rhythm models that
- 18:36are on the total are going over tonight.
- 18:39So we've seen the total go up. We got a great bet, split 6963%
- 18:43bets, 89% money on the over. We got a short home dog.
- 18:47We got two of the worst defenses and we have rhythm edge again,
- 18:50expecting a game closer to 168. So add it all up.
- 18:53I was able to find an over 163. So shop around, try to try to
- 18:57get that number if you can. If not, you're looking at over
- 18:59163 1/2. But let's get some points late
- 19:03night in LA now to finish up the pod.
- 19:06Let's set our sights on the upcoming week of NFL and college
- 19:10football. Let's start with the NFL cuz
- 19:11there are a couple games that are catching my eye.
- 19:14I will have my sharp report for visen.com coming out tomorrow.
- 19:18I just released the sharp report for college football for today.
- 19:21So let's start with NFL. Then I'll hit on some college
- 19:24for you cuz there are some games I'm looking at right now at
- 19:26playing. But here are a few that caught
- 19:28my eye. So first one I'm looking at, we
- 19:32mentioned this yesterday, but Minnesota, Minnesota at home
- 19:36against Houston, we've seen this line move in favor of Minnesota.
- 19:41They went from getting 3 1/2 to now getting 2 1/2.
- 19:43You know, do you want to tease them up?
- 19:45They're only getting 40% bets, 50% money.
- 19:47Rhythm expects them or basically has a play of or a prediction of
- 19:52Minnesota plus 1 1/2. You know, I'll either take the
- 19:55points of Minnesota. I think there's a great teaser
- 19:57opportunity. Minnesota 2 1/2 up to 8 1/2.
- 20:00Looking for a dance partner. I'm going to give you some more
- 20:01options here in a second, but still having my eye on
- 20:04Minnesota. Now the other one that is a new
- 20:08play to me is the Miami Dolphins.
- 20:11Now this one looks gross. I know it's Skylar Thompson Tua,
- 20:14who knows if we'll ever even see him again, But Miami's at
- 20:18Seattle and it feels like this is an easy win for Seattle.
- 20:21They open as a 6 1/2 point favorite at home.
- 20:24Just beat the Patriots. Now they got Miami without Tua.
- 20:26Seems like an easy win in cover, but the line has come back down
- 20:29to Miami. Guys, Seattle open this game -6
- 20:331/2. Now the sign is down to four and
- 20:35a half. And Miami's only getting around
- 20:3740% bet, 60% money. So keep an eye on that one.
- 20:41Miami, maybe it tease them up 4 1/2 to 10 1/2.
- 20:43They can keep that thing close. But had to admit, I didn't
- 20:46expect to see that line move toward Miami.
- 20:48And the line is going toward Miami now.
- 20:50Here's again, we talked about yesterday and I'm going to play
- 20:52it right now. I actually put it in right
- 20:55before the pod with the Arizona Cardinals.
- 20:57Cardinals are at home against Detroit.
- 21:00Detroit open as high as a four and a half point Rd. favorite.
- 21:03The line is down to three. What I like about Arizona is the
- 21:06lines moving in their favor. It's a 5050 line move.
- 21:09But really, we talked yesterday about kind of thinking through
- 21:13when to place a bet. You want to bet it early, you
- 21:16know, because you think you're getting a good number.
- 21:17Do you want to wait it out? You know, get some injury
- 21:19reports, get some more information, let the bets build
- 21:21up. I only bet games really early in
- 21:24the week if I feel like this is the best number we're going to
- 21:27get. And it looks to me like the
- 21:29three on Arizona is the best number you're going to get.
- 21:31So I officially just put in Arizona +3.
- 21:34Now, why am I saying it'll probably be your best number?
- 21:37I could be wrong. Maybe it goes back up to 3 1/2.
- 21:39But as of right now, all these shops across the board, painted
- 21:43across the board are juicing up Arizona +3.
- 21:45So if you look at all the Arizona plus threes, they're +3
- 21:49at like -115 -, 120. And I even see one book that's
- 21:52down to 2 1/2. So we all know how important key
- 21:55numbers are. You know, if Arizona ends up
- 21:57losing by three, I got to push that instead of lose by getting
- 22:01a three right now, looks like you will be able to, you know,
- 22:03push instead of lose a three-point loss because it does
- 22:07look like it's getting down to 2 1/2.
- 22:09So based on that juice price, if you like Arizona, you probably
- 22:12don't want to wait much longer. And remember Kyler Murray as a
- 22:14dog, 26 and 14 against the spread, 65% in his career.
- 22:19So I officially put in Arizona +3 today.
- 22:22Another game that I am looking at putting in very quickly very
- 22:27soon here because I'm getting some Deja vu.
- 22:30Kansas City and Atlanta, this is a Sunday Night Football game.
- 22:34We all know how great the Chiefs are.
- 22:36Atlanta again had a great cover for us last night, but Oh my
- 22:40God, Atlanta once again is extremely unpopular.
- 22:44The Kansas City Chiefs as of right now for the Sunday night
- 22:46game are getting 83% of spread bets.
- 22:50Remember last night you had, what was it, 84% of spread bets
- 22:54on Philly? So everyone and their mother is
- 22:56on Kansas City. But guys, this line is coming
- 22:59back toward Atlanta. Atlanta Open getting plus 4 1/2.
- 23:02The line is down to 3 1/2 now. The reason why?
- 23:05So I definitely be an Atlanta play for me.
- 23:07You give me a contrarian team getting less than 20% in a
- 23:10primetime game. That's an auto bet.
- 23:13I did notice, though, that the juice is pretty much even -110
- 23:16both sides. So I'm going to wait this thing
- 23:19out. I'm definitely going to be on
- 23:20Atlanta, but doesn't get back up to four.
- 23:22Whole point being is, unlike Arizona, who's really juiced up
- 23:26looking like the three is going to go to 2 1/2, we're even -110
- 23:30on the 3 1/2 with Atlanta. So that tells me that maybe you
- 23:32don't have to bet it right now. You could wait it out a little
- 23:35bit. If you want to play the 3 1/2,
- 23:37I'm not going to argue with you there.
- 23:38There's a good rhythm edge rhythm is only predicting
- 23:40Atlanta plus 0.7, but I'll be a primetime dog.
- 23:44Extremely contrarian, top contrarian play of the week.
- 23:46I'm definitely going to be on Atlanta.
- 23:49The question is, do you want to take the 3 1/2 now?
- 23:51Or maybe you get the four again? I'm not going to argue with you.
- 23:54I'll I'll give it another day. I'd hate to wake up tomorrow and
- 23:58see it down to three more. I think about it.
- 24:00Maybe I should grab Atlanta right now.
- 24:01Either way, I'll be on Atlanta. Whether it's now or later,
- 24:05that's a choice you can decide for yourself, but I will be on
- 24:09the the Atlanta Falcons again, only 17% bets, but the lines
- 24:13already moved in their favor. Now over to college because I
- 24:18again, I just wrote the sharp report for visen.com.
- 24:20Here are a couple college games that caught my eye.
- 24:23First one being USC at Michigan. I'm looking at Michigan and the
- 24:28points here, guys, Michigan is at home against USCUSC comes in
- 24:32two and O they're ranked 11th. Michigan's two and one, they're
- 24:35ranked 18th and everybody's betting USC in this one.
- 24:38USC is getting 83% of spread bets.
- 24:41But USC actually open as a 6 1/2 point favorite and the lines
- 24:44down to 5 1/2. So Michigan to me, good
- 24:48opportunity here to go contrarian.
- 24:50They're only getting 17% of bets in one of the most heavily
- 24:52backed games of the day. They would also be a dog in a
- 24:55low total game. But the angle here is some of
- 24:59these books are juiced up toward USC like it may go back to six.
- 25:02So I'm going to wait it out and see if I can get Michigan +6.
- 25:06But again, it's an obvious play where everyone's taking USC
- 25:09lines falling toward Michigan. Michigan looks pretty sharp for
- 25:11me. Arizona State at Texas Tech
- 25:15Arizona State comes in three and O don't remind me.
- 25:18I had Texas State last week in Arizona.
- 25:20RIP my heart out and dance to the beat.
- 25:22But they're now playing Texas Tech who's two and one and
- 25:25everyone is backing Texas Tech here.
- 25:27Texas Tech is getting 67% of spread bets, but they open -3
- 25:311/2 and the lines down to three even though they're getting 2
- 25:34out of 3 bets. So I'm liking the Sun Devils in
- 25:37this spot now. You got to hold out for the
- 25:39hook. 3 1/2 is critical here. I'm going to wait this thing out
- 25:43because they are juiced up toward Texas Tech.
- 25:45You may be able to wait and get that hook again, but I am
- 25:47holding out for a Arizona State Plus 3 1/2 short Rd. dogs
- 25:51getting 4 or less. Pretty good grinder system.
- 25:54It's 54% against the spread since 2012.
- 25:56There's a rest. First tired advantage.
- 25:58Arizona State played on Thursday, Texas Tech played
- 26:01Saturday, and Arizona State has the much better defense.
- 26:03They've only given up 58 points this year.
- 26:06Texas, Texas giving up 109. So I am looking at a Arizona
- 26:09State play, but again, I'm holding out for Sun Devils in
- 26:12the hook. Next one for you.
- 26:15This is a game that if you can get a hook, I'm going to play it
- 26:19right now, Kansas State and BYU. So Kansas State comes in this
- 26:24one, three and O ranked 13th. BYU is also three and O, but
- 26:28they're unranked. But this one opened Kansas State
- 26:30-7 1/2. And now most shops are down to
- 26:34seven, even though you're getting 73% of bets on Kansas
- 26:38State. So everyone's playing K State,
- 26:40but this line's coming back to our BYU.
- 26:43Now BYU is only getting 27% of bets but more than 50% of
- 26:46dollars. And the important thing here to
- 26:49know is it's a prime time game or a late night sweat.
- 26:52It's 10:30 PM Eastern Time. It's on ESPN, so it's going to
- 26:55be one of your most heavily bet games of the night.
- 26:57This is your chase game. Everyone's hammered at the bar
- 27:00and hopefully the public's had a bad day and they chase it and
- 27:03say, oh, let me get it all back with K State.
- 27:05However, this line is going toward BYU, so I like the spot
- 27:09toward BYU. Unranked, first ranked,
- 27:11contrarian, low bets, higher dollars, heavily bet late game
- 27:14and the lines going in their favor.
- 27:16If you can find a hook right now, I'm playing BYU right now.
- 27:20I was able to find BYU at +7 and 1/2 at -120 again key #7 you
- 27:26lose by 7. You want to cover with the seven
- 27:28and a half, but it's going to be rocking at BYU Late night sweat
- 27:32here. And this is again, right up my
- 27:34alley in terms of a unpopular dog with a line move on ranked
- 27:37first rank. So if you can find a hook, I'm
- 27:40playing BYU 7 1/2 right now. You can wait it out.
- 27:44Maybe if you want to even buy it up.
- 27:45I'm not going to argue with you too much because you are at a
- 27:48lot of books like -7 -, 115 or some shops at least are -7 -,
- 27:54115 toward K State. So you could take BYU +7 at -1 O
- 27:595 up to plus 7 1/2 at around -120.
- 28:02But either way, BYU on the hook. That's what that 1 is really
- 28:05catching my eye. Next one that caught my eye,
- 28:07Arkansas and Auburn, 3:30 PM Eastern Time game.
- 28:11Arkansas comes in two and one. Auburn's also two and one.
- 28:15We saw this game open Auburn around a four point home
- 28:18favorite. Now it's down to 3 1/2.
- 28:20Even some shops going to three. So I'm like in Arkansas here,
- 28:23lines moving in their favor. Now they are getting 58% of
- 28:26bets, which is slightly public, but they're getting 74% of
- 28:30dollars. So maybe slight public line
- 28:32move, our slight public support, but heavy respected money, low
- 28:36bets, higher dollars bet split short Rd. dog four or less 54%
- 28:40against the spread or last decade conference dog, both from
- 28:44the SEC. So that kind of built in
- 28:46familiarity rivalry aspect. Maybe this is a very tight game
- 28:49where again, if you're playing Arkansas, you got to get the
- 28:51hook, you got to get 3 1/2. Razorbacks are a dog who can
- 28:54score system match. They've scored so far this year,
- 28:57138 points. That's the fifth most in the
- 28:59SEC. So the fact that we have
- 29:02slightly 5050, slightly a little bit more toward Arkansas, but
- 29:06big money in a line move. I'm like in Arkansas, guys.
- 29:09So we can still find the hook, 3 1/2.
- 29:11I'm taking Arkansas at 3 1/2. So just to wet your whistle
- 29:15because I know after last night and what an incredible sweat
- 29:18that was with the Falcons, we're we're waiting for more football.
- 29:22You don't have to wait too long. Obviously, we have the Patriots
- 29:25and The Jets coming up on Thursday and we do have another
- 29:29college game on Thursday as well.
- 29:31But just to get you excited for some early sharp line moves and
- 29:35maybe some games you might want to put in sooner rather than
- 29:37later. But anyway, guys, that about
- 29:39does it for episode 121 of the All Systems Go sports Betting
- 29:42podcast powered by rhythm. This is the part of the pod

- 34:02against the public, place yourself on the side of the
- 34:04house, always be with the smart money, never against it.
- 34:07Will smart money when every time?
- 34:08Of course not. No such thing as a locker
- 34:10guarantee anything can happen in a one off.
- 34:12But here's the thing, if we can consistently stay true to the
- 34:15model that with our head and not our heart, against the public,
- 34:18with the house, with the pros, flat bet, avoid parlays and get
- 34:22some CLV. If we can do that, we're going
- 34:24to be good long term. So enjoy the sweats tonight,
- 34:27guys. Again, how about those Falcons?
